I’ll be honest… I never worried about the chemicals in store-bought conditioning sprays until I had a daughter. All of a sudden I couldn’t bring myself to spray that nasty stuff on her head. I didn’t want her inhaling it as I sprayed it, and I didn’t want it on her.



First I went in search of the most organic eco-friendly spray I could find, but sometimes even those are misleading. Some of them contain sulfates, parabens, and/or propylene glycol that are harmful to our environment and even worse for our children.




After a few months of searching for the perfect detangling spray, I decided to try to make my own. I started experimenting and testing. We tried three different concoctions over a two month period, and this one was our favorite.

DIY Leave in Conditioner and Detangling Spray




This recipe makes 8 oz.



First add 3/4 cup of distilled water straight into your glass bottle. [Essential oils keep better in glass.] Then add the vegetable glycerine and vitamin e oil. Next add 10 drops of lavender essential oil. Feel free to use a different essential oil such as citrus fresh, ylang ylang, rose or geranium if you prefer. [If you use a citrus essential oil make sure you use a glass bottle. Citrus oils will eventually eat through plastic.]

Gently shake before each use.

I have found that this recipe makes it really easy to comb through my daughters hair. Even my husband has noticed a difference. I think it works better than the store bought leave in conditioners and detangling sprays. I like it so much I use it myself.
